What you’re looking at
This page is a scientific chart, not penny dreadful fiction. It displays three graphs titled "Adsorption Isotherms at 0°" by L. H. Reyerson and L. E. Swearingen, showing the volume of gas absorbed per gram of adsorbent (measured in ml) against pressure in mm mercury for three different gel types: silica gel, silverized gel, and platinized gel. Each gel type tests the adsorption of five different gases (carbon dioxide, ethylene, carbon monoxide, methane, and oxygen, with hydrogen tested for platinized gel).
